The phrase itself comes from British slang, where pillock is a mild, old-fashioned insult for a foolish person and infantile adds the charge of childish behaviour. As a standalone clip, it circulates on soundboards and in meme edits rather than being tied to one widely recognised scene, which is why it works so well out of context. Its appeal is the contrast between the formal, almost schoolteacher-like wording and the petty put-down underneath, making it a compact reaction for calling out foolishness without resorting to harsher language.
